I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. I wanted to be an architect since I was 7 years old, but due to the influence of an Art teacher in high school, I ended up being a graphic designer. I began my professional activity when I was 17, working in various ateliers and learning with great masters of publicity and graphic design. I had an internship in FIL – AIP and had drawing and painting classes in Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes. I was in military service at the Audiovisuais da Força Aérea (CAVFA - in Alfragide), where I learned photography, photo-reporting and aerial photography. I developed my skills working for some advertising agencies (EPG-TBWA; Grafidec; Quartzo; One to One; Executivo M.P.), where I worked as an art-finalist, visualiser and art director. Based on knowledge and experience acquired through the years I decided to begin working in my own behalf and to open Félix Design in 1996. Since the beginning I focused on personalised contact with my clients. From the smallest business to great multinationals, the list of partners/clients that enjoyed Félix Design's services through all these years is a long one: COP - Comité Olímpico de Portugal, PhoneHouse, ItTamarindo, Missus, Nuiynature, ATM Informática, Edinfor, Domplex, Janssen Cilag, C.M.
